The Road(map) to all things FIT

Calling our FIT System users! We recently pushed out a new app for our FIT System (see our email in late August).

Join us Thursday, September 18^th as we walk through the new ‘look’ for users, review some of the recently added core features, share the growing list of add-on modules, and share the roadmap for the coming months. This will be highly interactive with ‘live’ demonstrations, and we’ll have Q&A with Chris at the end!

AI (Artificial Intelligence) and Your Business – Ready or Not

Join us Thursday June 12^th at 11:00 am Central time

Ready or not, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is here. AI isn’t new, but with the release of Copilot in February 2024, it is now accessible to everyone in a very practical way. For years, AI has been part of our programmers’ lives, saving tons of time. For the rest of us, Machine Learning (ML) and AI are part of many of the tools we’ve learned to rely on in our businesses and personal life.

Maybe you plan to ignore it – you won’t be able to. Maybe you want to re-tool everything and use it everywhere – not realistic and not appropriate. One or more of your team members is probably already using AI in their work, so this is a great time to consider your company’s policy. Let’s have a practical discussion about AI and our businesses. Here are a few highlights of what we’ll cover:

• Let’s discuss how AI works (briefly!)
• What AI is good for, and what it’s NOT good for
• We’ll review a variety of areas you can use AI in right now and pick up some big wins, safely and with ease!
• Which AI tool to use and why?
• What do we see as the next iteration of AI (Agents are everywhere!)

Updating Paygroups in Sage 100 Contractor

Join us for a webinar on Thursday, May 1st, 2025 at 11:00 AM CST.

Each year (and sometimes more than once a year), unions publish new rate and benefit sheets with specific start dates. There is a very methodical process in Sage 100 Contractor that allows you to get all the reports you need for the old rates, get the new rates updated in one place, then update the employee default hourly rate, and make sure the next reports are right for the union – without over paying for a few days of overlap!

AND, we’ll review how Job Paygroups work. You can actually indicate which Paygroups are to be used on a specific job. This could save you a lot of time!

Join Catherine Wendt for a 45-minute review of this process, including tips and tricks. Registration is required – seats are limited.

If you have payroll with union employees or you use paygroups for prevailing wage jobs through Sage 100 Contractor, you need this webinar!
